The present invention is direct to a method of producing analgesia in a mammalian subject. The method includes administering to the subject an omega conopeptide, preferably ziconotide, in combination with an analgesic selected from the group consisting of morphine, bupivicaine, clonidine, hydromorphone, baclofen, fentanyil, buprenorphine, and sufentanil, or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein the ω-conopeptide retains its potency and is physically and chemically compatible with the analgesic compound. A preferred route of administration is intrathecal administration, particularly continuous intrathecal infusion. The present invention is also directed to a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an omega conopeptide, preferably ziconotide, in combination with an analgesic selected from the group consisting of morphine, bupivicaine, clonidine, hydromorphone, baclofen, fentanyl, buprenorphine, and sufentanil.

The present invention discloses a method of treating a disease condition susceptible to baclofen therapy, said method comprising orally administering once-a-day in the evening a controlled release drug delivery system comprising baclofen or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or its derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

The present invention relates to combinations and methods for the treatment of neurological disorders related to glutamate excitotoxicity and Amyloid β toxicity. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel combinatorial therapies of Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease related disorder, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, neuropathic pain, alcoholic neuropathy, alcoholism or alcohol withdrawal, or spinal cord injury, based on Baclofen and Acamprosate combination.

The present invention provides a proprietary compositions and systems to modulate genetic and metabolomic contributing factors affecting disease diagnosis, stratification, and prognosis, as well as the metabolism, efficacy and/or toxicity associated with specific vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, homeopathic ingredients, and other ingredients for the purposes of customizing a subject's nutritional supplement formulation to optimize specific health outcomes. Specific to this invention the utilization of certain known polymorphic genes associated with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are analyzed to target certain genetic anomalies that lead to a high risk and predisposition to SUD. The genotypic patterns are then utilized to provide certain nutritional customized solutions especially related to the attenuation of aberrant abuse of physician prescribed narcotic pain medication across all pain conditions. A priority GENOPROFILE is measured and directs the customization of a subsequent nutraceutical to act as a therapeutic modality. Specifically the treatment includes slow attenuation of the pain medication by incorporating orals (shakes, liquid beverages, pills, tablets, troche, ointments etc.), Intramuscular, Intravenous, intra-rectal and any form necessary to deliver a sufficient amount of an anti-craving and anti-stress nutraceutical. Moreover, the invention includes examples of novel analgesic ointments coupling Synaptamine and such analgesic and other anesthetic compounds including but not limited to Gabapentin, Ketamine, Baclofen, Ketoprofen, Amitriptyline, Lidocaine, Cyclobenzapine, Diclofenac, Menthol, Camphor and Capsaicin. The GENOPROFILE will be used to determine pain sensitivity Intolerance.

Sustained release particulate oral dosage forms of (R)-baclofen prodrugs and methods of treating a disease comprising orally administering such dosage forms are disclosed.

A high concentration baclofen solution is provided suitable for therapeutic use in a medical setting. A high concentration solution of baclofen in multivalent physiological ion solution such as artificial cerebrospinal fluid is provided with concentrations of baclofen of 10 mg/ml. Artificial cerebrospinal fluid is particularly advantageous as a baclofen solvent. A medical package is also provided for baclofen delivery to patients suffering from spasticity.

The current invention provides methods of treating alcohol related disorders by providing a sustained release oral drug dosage form comprising a plurality of solid state drugs i.e., baclofen and naltrexone, dispersed in a solid state unitary matrix formed from a combination of swellable polymers. The combination of swellable polymers in a single oral drug dosage form is beneficial in terms of release rate control for combination therapies.

One embodiment of the present invention is a method for reducing pain using a multi chamber pump to separately administer multiple drugs. For example, one chamber may contain an omega conopeptide, such as ziconotide, and the other chamber or chambers may contain one or more other drugs, which may include of morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, sufentanil, bupivacaine, baclofen, clonidine, and buprenorphine, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Other applications of the present invention include methods for treating severe chronic pain due to cancer, failed back syndrome, CRPS, neuropathic pain, mixed neuropathic and nociceptive pain.

The present invention relates to combinations and methods for the treatment of neurological disorders related Amyloid beta toxicity and/or neuronal death and/or glucose impaired neuronal metabolism. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel combinatorial therapies of Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease related disorders, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, Huntington's disease, peripheral neuropathies, alcoholism or alcohol withdrawal, neurological manifestations of drug abuse or drug abuse withdrawal, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury or brain ischemic events based on baclofen, acamprosate and at least one medium chain triglyceride.

An intravenous baclofen solution is disclosed, along with methods of dosing and treatment therewith.

The invention relates to a method for preparing chiral baclofen, belonging to the synthesis field of chiral compounds. The synthetic route of the method is as follows: 3-(4-chlorphenyl) glutarate used as a starting material is condensed to prepare 3-(4-chlorphenyl) glutaric anhydride; a key intermediate (S)-3-(4-chlorphenyl) monoester glutarate is prepared by the 3-(4-chlorphenyl) glutaric anhydride under the action of chiral catalysts and the chiral baclofen is prepared by Curtius (or Hofmann) rearrangement reaction. The method of the invention has short reaction steps, convenient operation, high ee value of product, low cost and high yield.

The invention relates to a novel and simple synthetic methodsynthesis method for chiral beta-aryl-gamma-aminobutyric acid compounds as shown in structural formula I. The method takes chiral diphenyl pyrrolidine trimethylsilyl ether as a catalyst and takes the cheap nitromethane and 3-aryl-acrolein as raw materials; the catalyst and the raw materials are reacted in alcohol solvent for 5 to 40 hours to prepare the chiral beta-aryl-gamma-nitryl-butyraldehyde with high yield (65-82%) and high counterpart selectivity (96-99%); then the chiral beta-aryl-gamma-nitryl-butyraldehyde is taken as the key intermediate to go through aldehyde oxidation and nitro reduction to get the chiral beta-aryl-gamma-aminobutyric acid (baclofen compounds). Compared with the existing synthetic route for baclofen compounds, the reaction steps of the invention are significantly shortened from the usual 6-8 steps to 3 steps, and the reaction conditions are mild and controllable, thereby greatly reducing the synthetic costs of baclofen drugs.
